TALE

IN SANTA CLARA AN OLD JESUIT HAD CLIMBED UP INTO THE BELL TOWER OF
THE JESUIT RESIDENCE. HE FELL DOWN AND BROKE HIS HIP OR SOMETHING
AND DIED. NOW IT'S BELIEVED THAT HE COMES BACK AND WALKS THE HALLS
AT NIGHT. YOU CAN HEAR THE BELL RINGING AT ODD TIMES.

Submitter comment: DON HEARD THIS FROM SEVERAL PEOPLE AROUND THE UNIVERSITY OF SANTA
CLARA. HE RECALLED HEARING OTHER TALES CONNECTED WITH BELL TOWERS AT
OTHER JESUIT UNIVERSITIES BUT COULDN'T REMEMBER SPECIFIC DETAILS.
